Greetings,
Now that I've spent the $20 to become a NSA member, what are the procedures for getting the badge.
Please don't tell me that I had to register with me POGO screen name.
Additionally, please don't tell me it will cost $20 for each of my two accounts.
Is there a way to use my NSA membership to get everyone @POGOCHEATS.NET the badge?
Thanks, and looking for your answers

I was wondering if anyone would spend $20 to join the NSA. I think your membership is only for you, not transferrable or shared with other Pogo players, sadly. If you have two Pogo accounts, and have played Scrabble with both, it makes sense that you will receive this and the other badges for each account.
Congrats on your membership.. I hope you get your $20 badge without delay. :)
Badge Babe
Well from what I have read Pogo does not have a clue as to how this badge will be awarded. So everybody hold up on NSA membership until they decide
i cant believe people would spend that amount of money for a badge..
:-\ :!# :>>
i think we all need the NSA badge for free...we worked hard at getting the 8,100,500 badges and finishing the game <:>
Ohh I think this is all part of the deal pogo made, They know tons of people are going to join the NSA that don't even play scrabble.
$$$$$$$$$
ROFLMAO I bet their membership more than doubles.
(hey if all the pogo members equal more than their regular members, maybe we can take over, board of directors etc.., would that not be funny if we could do that and all vote for some cheater)

Great idea, Runner! I nominate YOU! AND, another benefit to having an insider on the board, more challenges that are more auto friendly! MORE BADGES!!

I can't see Pogo letting $20.00 go to someone else for anything. I wonder what kind of deal they made. I'm curious to know how many people would buy one badge for 20 bucks. Homer put a poll up and lets see how many people here are going to buy it.
Update,
Still no NSA Badge for me...hold off on buying the membership. I put both accounts at 2100 rating and still no badge.
I will not be surprised if the $20 is just for an Annual Membership and my credit card will be charge every year.
I'll keep you all posted.

Where's the poll?
if you pay $20 for the membership..what are you actually getting for the membership?

lol..love the line under Kevins helpful response....need help with club pogo..click on help button..for useless answers and no help at all..
I have this feeling... I think Pogo is going to work out some kind of " deal" regarding this badge and the NSA. Like " Join the NSA at the special Club Pogo rate of $15.99 if YOU love playing Scrabble on Club Pogo. In return, you will be eligible for NSA Scrabble ratings and a special NSA badge. Pay using your Pogo account RIGHT HERE. Offer good only in the USA. "
That way, Pogo gets a cut from the NSA and the NSA gets recognition because Scrabble apparently does have fans out there who pay to join to play. ( Lord, I don't understand why).
Why isn't it already out? Because Pogo/ EA/ Hasbro and the NSA haven't finalized the financial contract for this and probably many other details of the Hasbro games.
i paid 20 bucks and all i got was this cr-appy badge limited edition scrabble badge :)))

I guarranty they had all contract/financials figured out before pogo even considered spending the time/money to produce scrabble to pogo.
Pogo just messed up or they truly had a certain date set with NSA to go online with this deal. Lots of logistics are inherently built into deals like this.

I think you are right, because the badge WAS there on the AM that the game went live. I saw it.
It was in the NSA ratings section.
About 2 hours later, when people were talking about the badges, I looked, and it was gone already.
So, yeah, Pogo screwed up but probably only temporarily, since the badge has been made and has already been up on Pogo's regular servers.
Whoever buys the $20 badge will likely have it before long, while the rest of us decide if we want a " Club Pogo/ NSA special deal" $15.99 badge, :)) :)) :))

Don't even try to argue you with her, she's knows everything. Isn't it funny she didn't buy the badge, but she's all up in everyone else's business over it.
the badge is listed in my game awards book after the other ones for this game...
All I can tell you it is in my book (game award )and has been since day 1. If you read my second post I stated there that pogo does not have a clue about how this badge will be awarded. They are probably making a deal with NSA with a special price for Club Pogo members and a low price for NSA members that want to join Club Pogo and hold rated tourneys. Not trying to make you mad Badgebabe just giving you my story
i have been over in the nsa raitin rooms and i have a ranking of 1037N
and i did`nt pay a cent to join nothin there are people in there with E ratin already <:>

SCRABBLE
Game Award Badges don't need to be activated as Personal Challenges. You can win them at any time just by playing the game.
congrats sandy on your high rating great work :^*
TYVM - I am in a NSA Room and someone is asking in main chat how to get the NSA Badge - I am waiting lol
Hurry back let us know lol :///
Well that was a dud - all the answer someone gave her was to contact Pogo :{: :)))
So dum dum me I emailed the NSA asking them how to get the NSA Badge and knowing them they will prob answer same as Pogo that they checking into it O+O
If & when I get an answer I will let ya'll know <:> :///
Just in case someone doesnt know You can double browse in the NSA rooms. Make sure challenge words is marked. You can play all your tiles get a bingo and let your second player pass. Took me about 30 minutes and I was at rating 1105 I just dont like playing this game Any chance the auto can work with this glitch
i'm at master rank still no NSA badge >:D
From what I understand, you have to join the National Scrabble Association to get this badge. Membership is $20.00.
I buy premium albums, mix-n-match, and most of the animated mini items. I refuse to pay $20 for a badge.
one day pogo will tell us how to get the NSA badge..till then we wait. :///

After reading the story at this link http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25574190/ I don't know if we will ever know how to get the NSA badge. Looks like Pogo has a fight on their hands with this one.

The way I read it, it does say that EA/POGO has the license from Hasbro to use Scrabble... but did it say a 1 year license? Or am I not understanding that part? If it is 1 year, then what happens. No more Scrabble. I think I'll hurry and get my rank badges for that one. :)))
i finished the game..and my rank is master.. :,

Greetings,
I noticed the "xgingerx" said she had a master rating. I pushed my account to 2200 and am still at Expert rating. I thought expert was the highest rating?
Anyway, still no NSA Member Badge...guess I can say bye bye to my $20. (Heck I could have used 4 gallons of gas)
S1lent
If you go into a rated room and look on left side there are 3 ratings - N - I - E
Novice Below 1199
Intermediate 1200 – 1599
Expert 1600 and above
That is what will show next to your name
When I got over 2000, it showed up in chat in red that I was Master - The ranks go by like they do in Pinnochle even tho Pogo was dum dum and did not list it
Beginner Intermediate Advanced Expert Master
0-1500 1501-1600 1601-1750 1751+ 2001+
Thanks
i`m master rated i`m 2100 so far.. :^* tyvm sandy just saw your post..

I Have actually seen someone on pogo with the NSA Badge..
No Idea how they got it since pogo said that they were removing it.
